Britain’s only Centre of Excellence for leadworkers in the UK construction industry

 

In a purpose built environment the Training Centre will help you develop skills in Lead work or Plumbing, two skills that have centuries old traditions but are still very relevant in today’s Construction industry.

 

An emphasis on ‘hands on’ teaching in small groups makes it an effective learning experience.

If you are interested in a leadworker courses we recommend you fill in the self Assessment Application form and we will contact you to discuss the course that most suits your needs.

 

New Training Initiatives

New training initiatives are now available for you to gain recognised qualifications leading to National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) and Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) recognition.

 

A craftsman, not a roofer

A skilled leadworker deserves a better title than roofer. Lead roofing in all its forms will outlast any of its modern alternatives by hundreds of years – but only if it is properly installed.

 

That’s where the training you will receive makes a difference and changes you from a roofer to a highly skilled craftsman.

 

Once you have learnt the simple rules of how to use the material correctly; how to shape and boss, how to weld and dress, how to size, fix and set out, you will be on your way to being a skilled Lead craftsman.

 

The courses available take you through from basic skills to a City & Guilds full qualification, but the structure is sufficiently flexible to be tailored to the needs of students, for example taking account of prior knowledge and focussing on a special skill requirement.  To find out more , go to Courses and seminars
